Birushanah - Akai Yami

Birushanah are band who unfortunately don't get the attention they warrant and deserve, playing a rather experimental form of what I think could still be qualified as Sludge/Doom. Complementing the pounding and extravagant rhythms with Japanese percussion, the craftiness and drive they carry in their sound sets them apart from plenty of bands. People who enjoy Corrupted's way of putting you out of your place will love this.

Swans - Filth

Swans' first full-length. More straightforward and punishing than their s/t, a bit more experimental (some people call it Jazz influence, I don't think Gira cared much) but without losing their archetypical sound. My personal favourite. The year is 1983.

Swans - Public Castration is a Good Idea

Probably one of my favourite live albums by now. Absolutely horrifying, bonegrinding and hypnotizing performance. I didn't believe this was live at first, it feels that real and tangible. The year is 1986, London and Nottingham.
